[Interventional endovascular therapeutic modalities of giant intracranial aneurysm]
1Research Center of Interventional Neuroradiology, Beijing Hospital, Beijing 100730.
Objective:
To treat 28 cases of intracranial giant aneurysms in the last 7 years and study the therapeutic methods and their effectiveness on this disease.
Method:
The cases of giant aneurysms were divided into several groups. The advantages and disadvantages of the methods were compared. The main modality of endovascular therapy was to use balloon to occlude the parent artery.
Result:
In the 16 cases treated by the proximal balloon occlusion, 13 were cured angiographically with complete obliteration of the aneurysmal sac and in 4 of them the aneurysms disappeared both on CT and MRI. No deterioration after operation was encountered with the exception of 2 deaths.
Conclusion:
Endovascular therapy can cure the intracranial aneurysms which were difficulty treated by direct open operation.
